Brycer Harper, OF, Nationals

Harper didn't have a great contract year - hitting .249 to go with his 34 home runs - but he's still going to break the bank. There are reports that Harper turned down a 10-year, $300 million offer from the Nationals, so teams better be ready to pay dearly.

The Astros would love to keep Keuchel, but his pricetag is likely to be too high, especially with fellow lefty Patrick Corbin getting a six-year, $140 million deal from the Nationals already this offseason.

At 35 years old, this likely will be Morton's final contract of his career. He has said he would like to keep pitching in Houston, but it likely will depend on what kind of offers he gets on the open market.

Gonzalez experienced an offensive dropoff after a sensational season in 2017, but he's still a valuable player who can play almost every position. He made $5.1 million last season and will be looking for a significant pay raise.

The former Astros starter has been a steady performer over the past four seasons, making at least 25 starts in each of them. He raised his price when he went 7-0 after being traded to the Yankees in July.

Not long ago, Miller was the most valuable reliever in the game, but he went on the disabled list three different times last season with a hamstring injury, a knee injury and a shoulder injury. That's not great news for his free agent value.

This will be an interesting offseason for Robertson after he fired his agent and has chosen to represent himself. He's coming off a four-year, $46 million deal. The 33-year-old probably won't be able to top that this offseason.

Andrew McCutchen, outfield, YankeesMcCutchen is no longer one of the best players in the game like he was a few years ago when he was with the Pirates, but he can still hit for power and play a decent outfield. He could be a fit for the Astros in left field. less
